Cancelling Experian membership

I signed up for the months free trial membership with Experian/Credit Expert and would like to cancel before the first months money is taken out, but cant find where on the website you are supposed to cancel.
Does anyone know how to do this please?

Re: Cancelling Experian membership

Some phone monkey told me they couldnt cancel as I had done the 10 day free trial on Creditmatters but as they coudn't verify me I hadn't doe the trial, so I got the £19.99 they pinched from my bank account.

Perhaps a free trial offer shouldn't include you entering bank details until the final day, that would hit them where it hurts.

Re: Cancelling Experian membership

I wonder how long it will be before more and more people become like I have. I DO NOT trust any company on this planet! I do not listen to any garbage that any of them spill out anymore. There is no such thing as a "wonderful offer", "bargain", "reduction" etc.
This whole country is one huge financial con. Even the so-called "charities" should not be donated to once you look into them and see just how much actually reaches the needy ( if at all, any).
Now I see that our latest thieving Government want to introduce "charitable donations" at our ATMs.
And would we like to round our bills up to the nearest £1 at every supermarket checkout? No thanks, Ill keep my money ta.

The rule of thumb today is trust no-one! Agree to nothing and tell the phone monkeys to f*"^ off!!

Re: Cancelling Experian membership

I used to be very open to offers and would usually buy the salespersons blurb etc.. It's taken me just 2 months to start thinking like you merlin. I think nothing now of slamming the door a cold callers face. Just saying 'not interested' and walking by those people who stop you in the street with clip boards. Trust no one. If an offer looks too good to be true, then it is.

Re: Cancelling Experian membership

Why the hell do are we expected to pay these cretins a monthly fee to see our own personal information, them TV adverts drive me round the bend, with the pathetic lame excuses for signing up.
All they want is your latest info so they can pass it on to their bed buddies the DCA's, who then know that you have spare cash to pay a worthless monthly membership.

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.

Re: Cancelling Experian membership

Couldn't agree more, as soon as the CRA's get out of bed with the DCA's and and process peoples data correctly then the better!
In fact I don't remember giving the CRA's permission to process my data anyway? But that is a whole different argument!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!HOW DO I START A NEW THREAD?
